Grey Literature is described as information produced by, amongst others, government departments, non-governmental organisations (NOGs), civic and academic associations, outside of the traditional commercial and academic publishing environment. The purpose of grey literature is to provide information about organisations, associations, institutes, and others in a brief and concise manner. These materials often take the form of simple printed pamphlets though they can substantial such as annual reports. Printed ephemeral literature was often produced in large quantities and was not intended to be of use for an extended period of time. Some ephemera however, provide valuable insight into past organisations and activities. The Special Collections section of the UWC Library has collected ephemeral material over decades, some of which has been digitised for posterity.

Item type: Item , Ouma geelmeid ke kx'u llxallxa nluu/ Sheena Shah and Mathias Brenzinger ; in samewerking met / in collaboration with Katrina Esau, Claudia du Plessis and Mary-Ann Prins.(CALDi, University of Cape Town, 2016) Shah, Sheena; Brenzinger, MatthiasThree sisters living near Upington in the Northern Cape province of South Africa are the last fluent speakers of Nǀuu. Linguists from the Centre for African Language Diversity (CALDi) at UCT produced an illustrated 160 page trilingual Nǀuu-Afrikaans-English reader in collaboration with community members to support revitalisation efforts of this highly endangered language. The hard copies of the reader are used in the Nǀuu language classes conducted by Ouma Geelmeid, the youngest of the three Nǀuu-speaking sisters. The reader features twelve thematic areas with phrases and sentences derived from everyday conversations, as well as games, prayers and songs taught by Ouma Geelmeid. Core cultural terms and basic vocabulary used in the Nǀuu language classes have been compiled in Nǀuu-Afrikaans-English and Afrikaans-Nǀuu-English glossaries. In addition, new Nǀuu language data is available to a wider audience, both academics and other interested parties, through the electronic online copy of the reader. This language data will be of particular interest to scholars working in a number of subfields of linguistics, including typology, historical linguistics and language contact studies.Item type: Item , Nama feesboek 2025(2025) Witbooi, John Cornelius !Kham-oabInternasionale Nama Kultuurfees Die Namas is die Eerste Mense van Suid-Afrika, die enkele grootste oorblywende groep van die oorspronklike Khoi-Khoin wat die strande, velde, woude, vlaktes en berge van hierdie landstreek bewandel het. Al die ander aanspraakmakers tot hierdie unieke titel het reeds in die vergetelheid in verdwyn. Dit is die taak van die Namas om te voorkom dat dit met hulle ook gebeur. Die kultuur van Suid-Afrika word vir jare al gedomineer deur Europese, Engelse en Amerikaanse invioede. Hierdie dominansie het gelei tot die ontwikkeling van 'n unieke Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur met sy eie voorkeure vir kos, kleredrag, sport, musiek en selfs godsdiens. Ons behoort onsself te verheug in die positiewe elemente daarvan, maar terselfdertyd waak teen die vernietiging van dit wat elke minderheidsgroep uniek maak. Elke volk en nasie se taal en kultuurgebruike het 'n bydrae gemaak tot die opbou en groei van die land wat aan ons almal saam behoort. Elkeen van ons se bydrae moet erken en gekoester word, sonder voorkeur of afkeer. Die Namas se probleem is dat hulle die kleinste van die minderhede is, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle die oorspronklike grondbesitters was. Weens verskeie redes is hulle van hulle oorspronklike grond en erfenis vervreem. Daarmee saam het hulle ook hulle eie unieke kultuur prysgegee. Dit is futiel om te dink en te probeer redeneer dat 'n towerstaffie geswaai moet word om die Namas tot hulle oorspronklike eer te herstel. Dit sal slegs geskied deur middel van harde werk en toewyding. Ek het my klein deeltjie gedoen deur die publikasie van die boek, Eeue van Onreg wat die geskiedenis en kultuur van die Namas boekstaaf. Dit is my geskenk aan die Namas. Die volle opbrengs van die boek gaan aan julle. Ek doen 'n beroep op die Namas om saam te werk, om hard te werk aan die bewaring en uitbou van hulle taal, kultuur en geskiedenis, tot voordeel van almal. Ek wens die Namas van Suid-Afrika alles van die beste vir hierdie fees en vir die toekoms.Item type: Item , The South African disease: apartheid health and health services(Southern African Research Services (SARS), 1984) De Beer, CedricItem type: Item , Inaugural address by Professor Jakes Gerwel at his installation on 5 June 1987 as Sixth Vice-Chancellor and Rector of the University of the Western Cape(University of the Western Cape, 1987) Gerwel, JakesItem type: Item , UWC 30 YEARS(Frontline, 1989) Die Suid-AfrikaanThis magazine commemorates 30 years of the University of the Western Cape's (UWC) pivotal role in fostering democracy and inclusion within higher education. UWC has been a key player in South Africa's transformative journey, evolving from a "bush" university to a respected academic institution known for its commitment to equity and social justice. The magazine delves into the university's democratic transformation, community engagement, and the student experiences of the era. Featured are exclusive interviews with significant figures such as Prof. Richard van der Ross, UWC's first black Rector, Noby Ngombani, the SRC chairperson during that transformative period, and Prof. Jakes Gerwel, van der Ross's successor. Professor Gerwel’s tenure, beginning in 1987, marked a distinct alignment with the mass democratic movement and introduced significant innovations in curriculum and research. This magazine is available in a digitized format, with two versions provided: a standard version and a reduced version designed for accessibility across various devices.Item type: Item , 7th Annual Congress: Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences(University of the Western Cape, 1986-05-09) Van der Merwe, P.RItem type: Item , Institutional computing development projects at the University of the Western Cape 1982-1987(University of the Western Cape, 1982) Sinclair, A.J.L; Kansky, R.JItem type: Item , Ramaphosa apologises for Tazne ( 'parole should never have been granted')(Cape Argus Independent, 2020-02-26) Cape Argus, IndependentItem type: Item , Relative questioned over Hess rape, murder ( 'family shocked and heart broken ')(Independent Cape Times, 2019-11-14) Cape Times, IndependentItem type: Item , Raw emotions in court 4(Cape Argus, 2020-03-03) Cape Argus, MetroItem type: Item , Negligence charge in school tragedy(Cape Times, 2020-01-22) Cape Times, Independent
